Ya know it would have been a great game from him if he didn't come out and say today that he wasn't gonna try and match Kobe.

James, however, downplayed any notion that he'll come in tonight with any intention of making it another personal showcase.

"I'm not a video game where you can expect me to go out there and score 60 or 70," James said to reporters after last night's win over the Raptors in Cleveland. "I play the game and I'm not about individual accolades. Kobe Bryant's performance was unbelievable, I watched every last second of it and he won the game. But it's not about individuals in this league; it's about the basketball game. I'm not trying to outdo Kobe or anybody on their team. I'm just trying to win the game."

Yeah apparently LeBron could retire now and he'll still be one of the all time greats.

"Let me say one more thing about Kobe. He will be the best player in the history of the game. If he keeps doing what he's doing, there is no stopping him. He is that good." - Shaquille O'Neal in his autobiography, "Shaq Talks Back"

Wow at LeBro. He really wanted that triple double how he tried to get that last rebound.

Matt Barnes - "I respect all my opponents but I fear no one."

Deron Williams - “I hate ’em, you know,” he said the other day. “I hate the Lakers. They’re so good. I hate them because they win all the time. They’re a tough team. … We definitely talk about it. It’s not a secret. We hate the Lakers.”

the only thing that bothered me about Lebron trying to up one Kobe was that he said after Kobe's game that he was a team player he's not out there for individual accolades...when they interview him i hope he just admits he was going after Kobe's record and be straight up about it and just say it
